The download contains only two files (a HTML page and a JavaScript source). The content can be viewed at CodeProject with the Browse Code option: Downloads: JavaScript StringBuilder[^]. They look harmless.
I have also uploaded stringbuilder_demo.zip at virustotal.com and checked it with Defender. Nothing has been found.
When running a scan the name of infected files is usually shown. So what was the name shown? I would expect it being not a file from this download archive.
Note also that the Trojan.Gen.8!cloud is a generic detection (see Trojan.Gen.8!cloud | Symantec[^]) which may generate false positives.

Thanks for checking. I will go back and see if I can find the specific file. It was a cause-and-effect association on my part, because I got the warning immediately after downloading the two and unzipping them. It could well have been a false positive, but it actually came from Windows Defender and not Norton. That's what panicked me even more: why Windows Defender was running when it should have been Norton, and it got worse when I ran into trouble reinstalling Norton. I spent a good bit of time with Norton tech support to finally get it reinstalled and running as my default virus/security program.

Norton has always been a PITA to reinstall or to uninstall... they only can do good when installing for the first time, and if one or other (don't remember which) antivirus has never been in the system

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?

AFAIK, that only happens when someone abuses the "spam" / "abuse" reporting options on the message. Do you also have a "posted spam or abusive message" event at around the same time?
(Don't ask me why they do it. Some people obviously just can't cope with not being able to anonymously down-vote something they disagree with.  )

Thank you very much for the hint, you are right. I must have been blind, just next line is:
-Mar-17 8:37PM 0 Participant Posted spam or abusive message Forum Message Mandatory hint what changed for article/tip/trick which Need "re approvement"
Now I understand at least the -8 
Thanks again

Don't worry, I never thought it was you.
And I also don't care about the Points, it was only suspect for me how it is possible to downvote while downvote button is disabled

I can see the contents in this article. It looks fine to me.
Anything unusual on your machine? Or are you pointing out anything specific?

I see the contents now. Do you know what causing it? Perhaps some caching issue?

I saw this post[^], read it and was trying to answer - it gave me "posted 2 mins ago".
I couldn't post the answer because "The message is not available", I returned to the Lounge and the message was currently under review as potential spam.
IMHO The message shouldn't be visible when the spam filter traps it, and the spam filter should act before the actual publication.

Actually the message should be displayed with a "not available, in moderation" message until someone let it through or nuke it.
I have seen that behavior several times, and I personally find it good

My point was that the message has been visible for a while, the the spam filter edited and "removed" it and then it returned visible when the protectors let it pass.

The reason the message is there is to let the poster know what's happened. If messages just disappear without any visibility, they could post the message again, with the same effect. This leads to frustrated users, very quickly.

That's not what I meant, I meant that for a couple of minutes the post, with the full content of it, was visible and it could be answered to. After a couple of minutes the post has been caught by the spam filter and its content substituted with the standard text "Message in moderation".
So the flow was (assuming it is a spam message)
1) Message "Hey, check out these skimpy girls for hire in /location/" appears on the lounge, with full spam payload.
2) Minutes pass with the spam message fully visible and interactive (meaning I could post answers to that)
3) Spam filter wakes up and locks the message, changing the text with its "moderation queue".
It's point 1 that is not right as the spam filter should filter the message before its original content are posted to the world.
